II TheChurchandEducation 111 CATHOLICEVIDENCELECTURE

(BytheVeryRev.N,J.O'Reilly.CM.,D.D.t

ThelastoftheMelbourneseriesof CatholicEvidenceLectureswasdeliveredonMondayevening,25th.ult., attheCathedralHall,EastMelbourne, by.theVeryRev.Dr.M.J.O'Reilly, CM.,RectorofSt.John'sCollege, SydneyUniversity.

Inthecourseofhislecture,Dr. O'ReillysaidthattheBritishpeople boastthattheirhistoryisarecord ofaperpetualstrugglefortheliberty oftheindividualEnglishman.With acertainamountofinsularpride,they contendthatforeignershardlyknow whatfreedommeans,while,tothe Britisher,libertyissomethinglikehis nativeair.Hislifeisguardedby HabeasCorpus,hishouseishiscastle,hissoulishisown.Theyeven contendthatthegeniusoftherace forcompromiseisnotmerelyatestimonytothepracticalcharacterofhis outlookonlife,but,stillmore,arecognitionthat,wherethereisaconflict ofinterests,ifeachpartycannotsecureallthatitwants,itshouldat leastreceiveasmuchascanbeconcededwithouttrenchingontherights ofothers.
